Chapter 2021 - One Thing After Another
As they walked away, Haru noticed that the girl whose name was Yuiri Haba was kept looking at him. "What's wrong?"
"Ah!" Yuiri was startled, but then she said, "You're so gentle, the fourth primogenitor."
"....."
"Ha?" Yuiri's friend, Shio Hikawa, was surprised when she heard Yuiri's words, wondering how Yuiri saw Haru as a gentle person.
Haru looked at Shio and Yuiri and had to admit that both of them were cute, which made him wonder whether the requirement of someone to enter the Lion King Organization was that they needed to be cute. Still, he felt a bit flabbergasted by Yuiri's words and said, "I'm not gentle."
"You're gentle." Yuiri refuted Shishio and said, "You have told them to go back because you don't want them to lose their lives pointlessly, right?"
"......"
Himeragi, Sayaka, and Yukari looked at Yuiri and had to admit that this girl was unique, but at the same time, they knew that they needed to watch over him, or else, his harem was going to increase.
"You misunderstood. I thought they were useless so I chased them away," Haru said coldly.
"What are you embarrassed about? You're so cute," Sayaka said as she poked Haru's cheek with a smile
"....."
Haru looked at Sayaka helplessly and wondered whether he should eat her now so this girl could be more obedient.
Looking at Sayaka, who poked Haru's cheek so chummily, Shio and Yuiri were dumbfounded and at the same time, they were quite curious about their relationship. Of course, they knew about Sayaka, but they were wondering why Sayaka was with Haru.
"Um... Sayaka-san, why you're beside the fourth primogenitor? Also, Shike-sama, why are you also with them?" Yuiri asked. She only knew that Himeragi was tasked to observe Haru, but she didn't know why Sayaka was also beside him too. She also wondered why someone such as Yukari would be also beside Haru since usually, Yukari was at the headquarters, which made her even more confused right now.
"It's troublesome to call me the fourth primogenitor all the time. Just call me Haru," Haru interjected.
Yuiri was a bit surprised, but she blushed and nodded shyly. "Yes, Haru."
"....." Shio, Himeragi, Sayaka, and Yukari.
"Cough! Cough! Yuiri, didn't you ask me why am I here?" Sayaka suddenly said.
"Ah, yes, why are you here, Sayaka-san?" Yuiri asked again.
"Because I have quit the Lion King Organization," Sayaka said without hesitation.
"......."
"What?!" 2x
Shio and Yuiri were dumbfounded.
"But why?" Yuiri asked with some confusion since she didn't understand why Sayaka would quit the Lion King Organization.
"Because I have become his girlfriend." Sayaka hugged Haru's arm with a smile, then said, "I changed my job now." Frankly, it was better to work with Haru since her income was much better, she also could spend with him all the time.
"..........."
Shio and Yuiri looked at Sayaka with a complex expression. They felt a bit complicated and jealous since they could see how happy Sayaka was.
"Cough! Cough!" Himeragi suddenly coughed.
"Oh, right, by the way, Yukina is also his girlfriend," Sayaka said simply.
"........."
"Can we not talk about this matter now? How about we solve the matter of the relic first?" Haru suddenly said that if this continued, they wouldn't end, asking him a question.
---
As they walked, they continued to talk to each other, especially Himeragi, Sayaka, Shio, and Yuiri, they talked about their experience, and their loved life, which made Haru speechless.
Luckily, they arrived at the temporary tent where they monitor the status of the relic that was sealed inside the lake.
However, because Haru had chased all the JSDF soldiers, the tent was empty and there were only a few people there.
"It's my first time meeting you, the fourth primogenitor. My name is Shirona Kuraki. Nice to meet you." Shirona, who was one of the Three Saints, the leaders of the Lion King Organization, greeted Haru with a charming smile.
Haru looked at Shirona and really wondered why there were so many beautiful women here. "You're alone here?"
Shirona sighed and said, "Isn't it because you chase all of the soldiers away that there are only a few of us here." The meaning of her words was obvious, it was all of your faults, how about you took responsibility?
"I have said that I'll help you, right? Let me show you how I'll help you." Haru then sat in front of the computer and handled everything by himself.
"........."
---
As Haru handled everyone, they were dumbfounded since he basically handled everything.
"Now I understand why you asked me to seal this thing." Haru thought that there was a reason why they asked him, but it seemed that the seal was about to be broken, which was why they decided to ask him to seal this relic.
Haru looked at the shape of the relic inside the lake and felt that it had quite a strange shape. Hisano also explained to him that the name of the barrier was "Avalon", and the thing that was sealed by "Avalon" was "Houda". However, he had some doubts, especially when he knew about the information about these things from Avrora inside him and he knew what was sealed inside.
'It isn't sealing, but it protects what's inside, huh?' Haru became quite curious what was kept inside, but he had a feeling that it should be a beautiful girl since usually a harem story would lead into something like that.
"Can you do it, Haru?" Shirona asked with a cute expression.
"........."
Haru ignored Shirona and looked at Hisano, then asked, "This "Houda", what do you think of it?"
Hisano raised her eyebrow and asked, "What do you mean?"
"I think those of you who have a duty to seal the relic inside "Avalon" might think differently," Haru said. He was told that the relic that was sealed was known as a mass destruction weapon, but he thought differently.
"What do you want to say, Haru?" Shirona asked while maintaining her cute act.
"Can you stop acting, it creeps me out," Haru said without mercy.
"How cruel!"
".........."
Haru sighed and said, "I think that this "Houda" isn't an incarnation of destruction." He then looked at Yuiri and said, "I think that Yuiri also thinks the same."
They were dumbfounded and looked at Yuiri subconsciously.
Hearing Haru's words, Yuiri nodded without hesitation. "I also thought the same."
"Then what is "Houda"?" Yukari asked.
"Relic. When we think of that word, we subconsciously think of them as a weapon, but what if it's something else?"
"Something else?"
"Yeah." Haru nodded and said, "I'm not sure what it is, but are you sure that you want to seal what's inside the "Avalon"?"
Shirona was dumbfounded and asked, "You want to unseal it?"
"You're under the assumption that this relic is being sealed, but that's not the case," Haru said.
"It isn't being sealed?!" Everyone was dumbfounded again.
"Yes." Haru nodded and said, "Based on my observation, this barrier is protecting something inside and because you keep trying to seal it in the past, it is about to wake up."
"..............."
They were speechless when they heard Haru's words. They were thinking of sealing what was inside the "Avalon", but they had never thought that they had awoken it.
"But how did it happen so suddenly?" Hisano was dumbfounded and couldn't accept it for a while.
"It isn't so sudden." Haru looked at Hisano and said, "For the past 40 years, you have tried to seal it, but this thing has absorbed all the knowledge of the person who tried to seal it."
".............."
Hisano didn't expect that she was the cause of everything.
"So what should we do to stop this?" Shirona asked the most important thing. After all, everything had happened, there was no way to return to the past.
Haru didn't answer Shirona's question for a moment and said, "It's impossible to seal it."
".............."
"Or rather, we should do something to protect the things inside the barrier since it is being targeted by someone now," Haru said.
"Who?"
After one thing to another, they didn't expect that a problem was coming one after another.
Haru took a deep breath, pretending to be serious, and said in one breath, "Knight of the Sinful God."
